With me it wasn't the superstition but the quietness of the song. It
worked the way a meditation might. This was before meditation was popular.
I'm sure that's how prayer works too, through its meditative, repetitive
quality, by focusing the mind. I don't really meditate. I've always liked
Glen Campbell. Bobby McGee, especially by Janice Joplin but I'll take Kris
Kristofferson, is on my list of ten all time best songs ever written.
